3:02 pm
it was a surprise for us. we didn't expect that to come to this because all the sudanese people expected sedan to move in the right direction towards democracy. the entire nation had such high hopes of the military always imposes its power on the people. we were shocked by the news that the prime minister, senior ministers in the sovereignty council and other important officials had been arrested. we received some messages from our brothers, despite the internet and other communications having been cut. we learned about these clashes from these messages. of course, there is conflicting information. all communications are down. the disagreement between the military and civil officials is very important because the glorious december revolution dethroned the old regime. this regime drove the country into its current state, forcing a huge number of sudanese people to flee the country. never have there been so many refugees. as during the 30 years of military rule, the december revolution dethroned the old regime and helped create the new
3:03 pm
government. we were counting on the new governments to create a civil state. the un secretary general has condemned la crew and call for dialogue . the situation in the country will be discussed by the security council. earlier. art is more, i guess they have told my colleague, rory sushi more about what's happening in saddam well general abdel father, perhaps she is the, the top most military figure in this sovereign council of sudan. he has dissolved the entire body, what it was in the acting a body that represented that the head of state. it was made up partly of military officials and partly of civilian officials. and they ruled the country they, they govern the country. we have learned in the early hours of the morning, reports began pouring in that the ministry was atan force in the capital and elsewhere that they were blocking off roads and bridges. that the internet had been cut both mobile and land lines that the airport was shot and all flights grounded
3:04 pm
and canceled. it emerged later that the prime minister, as well as several of the other ministers, members of his cabinet, had been arrested and had been taken to an unknown location, the ministry of information which is still active online on facebook. it says that a number of other ministers have managed to get away there in a, in a safe place. but it views this or the, the dissolution of the sovereign council, as a, to, as a cool by the military. and this is, is all in the back of the revolution, of course, in 2019, when omar bashir, after 30 years, as head of country as the head of state a dictator, they called him after he was deposed of by, by popular, put us on, on economic grounds most where you talk about protests, for example, m e took it, talk about the, at the broader picture of this part of the world, political unrest and the countries really nothing new. i mean, we're talking these, these routes go way back to unfair. so don, for many years had been under very tough economic sanctions, international sanctions, eventually things got much worse,
3:05 pm
and there were huge brutus in 2018, 2019. they eventually forced to add a power, omar budget, but those problems have become worse. that is, that is the problem. now the, the civilian part, civilian part, military authorities came to pave the way for a democracy for elections in 2023. and they were desperate for money. and so they appealed to the i, m f, the world bank had such money never comes, you know, freely comes with strings attached and what are the conditions was that they introduce all sorts of economic reforms and they were moved subsidies for example, for petrol for, for for power, for food, they raise taxes. and so that is one of the poorest countries in the world. and you had people who, who marched and protested to depose of buy shit for a brighter, more prosperous, economic future. and eventually they ended up with a courtesy that collapsed and a power few food price hikes across the board to things have become much more
3:06 pm
desperate than we saw of these weeks. a build up impetus. we had both those who were for the transitional council for democracy say yes, things will get worse, but eventually they'll get better. and now we have those who are, who are desperate, who say that, you know, we, we don't care, we want the military to come in, get rid of this incompetent government. we want to have to eat with her mind if it's a military dictatorship. so long as we have food, so the, so long as things are stable and affordable at nevertheless, now we know that there are put us on going in in the capital that protesters are burning ties protesting against this military coup as they call it. and there have been reports of violence, the number of people have also deal injured. the russian foreign ministry reserves, the ceremonies people be announced that assigned a feature of the country for themselves. reaction to be unraveling crisis from a senior research institute for security studies and from a journalist from south saddam the gum line of saw sedan as ah,
3:07 pm
bring all day defense, political, partisan so done. and through we decide what piece agreement. and we look this a human was a bottle with 10, so done back to normal and also to do more cost. but that is not working at met at the moment. we could do a different thing of aliens and what men sedan. and currently that there is a political interest from the friends political parties. there's additional intense, and actually what with what was the next solution we've done on the 10, but i now, but according when you look at the submission, actually this edition with 10 him to wall because that different group that pro mill face and then the whole civilian and is to prove is your time if there is no into benson's or then it is on the prime minister in the prime is resign, or from day a mentioned was a young man. they did a deadline,
3:08 pm
was that as well for testers? and also her class, and even the cries listenable into the country, why i expect that people will get to the streets and those numbers will continue to increase until i'm the military. she actually listen to all heed to their demands of my doris, t of sudan. nice people, additionally, there's going to be a lot of pressure coming from the region coming from the african union, and i bang to national pots list. remember that one of the difficulties that sudan has phased soon by his exit has been the fact that they have not been able to solve their very economy questions. that way they're very basis for the overture of out of my share. and we do know that their role of international partners has been very key in trying to do that. so the way forward is going to be tough. and there's going to be a lot of contestation between the civilian compliment civilians in the country. when the military leaders and we hope that that's all i will be able to proceed on
3:09 pm
the side of caution and restraint so that the ability of sudan will be paramount on the spot being banned by social media. and anti jo bought a song called let's go brandon today for itself, sitting at the top of the hip hop shots in the us. if you removed rafa bryce and race track claiming contain the medical misinformation. the song, jake saying that president barton's bungled gotten withdraw. his handling up the current of ours. in that event, youtube said the platform doesn't allow claims about koby that conflicts with medical guidelines, charge the artist himself denies. there's a 1000000 signs best out right now. and if you're trying to, like say, i can't stay for, i'm going to solve your bandit. that means you're bending my art that me, you bending my view of what's going on. you can ban aren't, you could be anything. i don't curse him. i knew that i make positive music and i have my views and my music. i don't even curse and i'm the most sense
3:10 pm
a wrapper in the world. how is that possible? i say what i believe in my song, everything. i say i did it in real life, i'm priest, and this is what i believe it should be a legal or social media company to be able to change their guy live every week. and then delete things that came prior to that they actually are playing with our free speech. nobody is messing with them. they're messing the bus on the title of pricing. grace hates is also known from an internet catchphrase which went viral author and nbc reporter was interviewing nascar racing. dr. a. brandon brown and said he heard the crowd shot. let's go. brendan apparently failed to realize what people were actually shouting. oh ah, ah, ah, the song comes as joy buttons approval rating is noticeably dipped according to a new survey, county sits below for 45 percent, which is down 11 point since his integration in january. meaning is pulpit out,
3:11 pm
his decline faster than all his predecessors since the 2nd world war, royce and grey again, thinks the president is finding the job tough going. trying to kill a mean people now a lottery will say, let's go branding for me. that's perfect. so somebody doesn't curse back or so my the same for president biting people call trumpet dictatorship. there's nothing more so much what date? title 7, what jo buyers currently doing and what a lot of countries are going to try to segregate? that's need to do like jim crow, $2.00, i mean, while the world medical, what store continues to sell me a lot about the ongoing coping pandemic insisting it can only be stopped. one way the pandemic will and when the will choose to end it, it is in our hands. we have all the tools we need. effective public health tools and effective medical tools were
3:12 pm
increasingly empty. shelves are getting shoppers in the us nervously on the calendar made the fast approaching holiday season. is caused by a major disruption to the national supply chain over the past fortnight, with dozens of ships that us ports idling in, the water is still waiting to be unloaded. the next course wrecked havoc to the global supply chain. shortage of port operators and truck drivers in the us has led to traffic jams at docs and empty shop failed. the government claims the pools have been overwhelmed with such a demand and a booming economy. the public though is not convinced will let fled to get more gloomy reading for 0 barton over half of those quays in a new nation wide survey. believe that administration is dealing badly with economic matters. concerns grew further for summers the u. s. transportation secretary took potentially for 2 months, they made a growing logistics crisis. lauren shen has more let's talk about the outrage over
3:13 pm
pete booted judges, paternity leave. the past few weeks have not been easy for the bite and administration. not only has congress failed to pass the 3.5 trillion dollar build back better infrastructure plan, but there have also been complaints across the country of supply chain issues with people noting things like empty shells at grocery stores, as well as higher prices for goods due to scarcity, and amidst these problems some people began to ask where exactly is transportation secretary p. buddha judge. after all, most people would assume that trying to promote the administration's infrastructure plan would fall under the purview of the transportation secretary. and not only that, but seeing as how many are blaming the shipping crisis, at least in part, on ports in california, being backed up with shipping containers, it would make sense to assume that this is exactly the kind of problem that the transportation secretary should be involving themselves in and yet as the country would soon find out the reason why p booted judge was nowhere to be found was because apparently he had been on paternity leave for the past 2 months. you see
3:14 pm
earlier this year a secretary booted judge and his husband chase and welcome to newborn twins into their family as the 1st openly gay cabinet official and u. s. history secretary booted judge, becoming a father of course, made national headlines in august. but what was not reported on was the fact that he would be taking 2 months off of his job, paid for by us taxpayers. and this has drawn a lot of criticism because in the united states, even paid maternity leave is not federally guaranteed. let alone paternity leave for months for adoptive fathers. and so even those who are supportive of the concept of paternity leave have question whether it's appropriate for a government official to take such an extended break. while so many americans are denied the same privilege and not only that but others have also noted that even if p booted judge were to be given maternity leave. surely the nation going through such a serious supply chain issue should be reason enough for him to re and to work and still others have brought up that if
3:15 pm
a transportation secretary can actually go missing for 2 whole months with nobody really noticing, perhaps the role isn't as vital as the administration would have us believe, and certainly not vital enough to warrant 2 full months of paid leave. in any case, since our ridge over his leave began to mount secretary boot a judge has since returned to work and is absolutely on the defense regarding supply chain issues, he's attempted to dismiss them as simply americans doing too much shopping and overwhelming stores with demand and additionally, regarding the criticism of his maternity leave, buddha judge is now trying to spin the situation into a way to advocate for federally guaranteed paid family leave. and even though under the trump administration, a cabinet official leaving the job for 2 full months during what is, are you, we, a national crisis would have absolutely sparked the ire of the mainstream media when it comes to soccer table. to judge outlets like nbc have actually come to his defense, trying to argue that criticisms of him are actually due to homophobia. when it
3:16 pm
comes to problems, things like inflation, a broken foreign policy platform or growing political division people judges paternity leave is far from the biggest threat facing the united states. however, i think of nothing else. this whole scandal does illustrate the fact that there is no shortage of bad news for the bite administration, or it's supporters of vaccine donations by western countries of failing to much financial pleasures. so says the people's alexis alliance, who's latest report concludes pharmaceutical companies on which states are contributing to job inequality across the world. we spoke to alex farms on marriott, who's the policy lead for the people's vaccine alliance. what we've seen is developing countries receiving an endless type of to be frank, inadequate gestures of support followed by these broken promises. and it should be a cause of international shame. i think the biggest and the data that we release
3:17 pm
show is what we've known all along developing countries simply cannot and should not have to rely on the goodwill of rich countries, all pharmaceutical companies. they're not delivering what we need or the right from the recipes of these seems to be shed, so that we can scale up manufacturing and developing sustainable. now, the documents named a dose of reality underlying that nearly 2000000000 co vaccine shots. we initially promised by wealthy nations, only 14 percent of those who have been delivered to countries most in need and just one in 50 people in low income nations are fully vaccinated. and the people's vaccine alliance is crystal clear on who's shoal is the lion's share of the blame for those figures, namely high income status of the u. k. for example, probably 3 nights, a 100000000 doses to kovacs. that's a worldwide initiative aimed at fair access to come back. seems so far less than 10
3:18 pm
percent of that. i'm out. i've been delivered. i kind of has 40000000 doses. promise has seen around 8 percent of that figure handed over around 3200000. maxine doses off from marius again, believe the pharmaceutical giant have monetize the pandemic. patients whenever designs full pandemic for public health emergencies, they should not in any situation get in the way of saving lives. and that is exactly what is happening now. but i think we also really have to remember that billions of dollars and your res, i'm, i'm pounds that have been put into the development of these vaccines. it wasn't the investment of pharmaceutical corporations, all of their shareholders that made these vaccines possible. luca astrazeneca looked at mcdonough, almost a 100 percent puppet, at the finance. this is tax pans, money that paid for the rapid development at these vaccines based on decade of
3:19 pm
research that was also public. the finance didn't about peyton's providing incentives. this is about peyton's protecting that monopolies and the grotesque profits of pharmaceutical corporations. they have already made billions out of this pandemic. it's time to share the recipes, the rights to produce them, so that we can get this virus under control safe. what was the blow of frances, how can i say that i testified to do k m p. so a book on legislation to crack down on harmful online content. this comes off to her appearance in the u. s. senate where she accused facebook of spreading misinformation. height and violence comes back and says only a tiny sliver of contra platforms hate only tiny slippers, violence one they can't detect it very well. so i don't know if i trust those numbers, but to it gets hyper concentrated in, you know, 5 percent population. and you only need 3 percent of the population streets to have a revolution. and that's dangerous. the inner workings all facebook have now been
3:20 pm
further expose as whistleblower. france is how going has been testifying in front of m. p. 's own the social media giants failure to protect the public from this really harmful content. now it's been a pretty long testimony indeed and has been very explosive to, with all sorts of allegations regarding safety incentives, censorship, plus of course, algorithms and their power to really to store people's news feeds on their social media. and also the content flow, of course, as well. now, all of what she says has a pattern of negligence. now, one of the stand out quotes from the testimony today is that the platform is undoubtedly making hate was. so of course, she was speaking to the parliamentary committee here in westminster, who is scrutinizing at the proposals for the online safety bill. it's a landmark piece of legislation that could really set the tone for social media regulation across the world. now france is how can a former employee of facebook says now is the time to act and facebook's encryption,
3:21 pm
which are essentially ambitions to make the site less transparent, will actually make it easier for bad actors to strike. now that could be on one end of the scale of espionage operations by hostile states. but then also i want to more pass no level. it could be hate crime. and those people sharing a legal content. now that is an opinion that really is quite hand in hand with the government, which is looking to ban anonymous profiles. would you consider legislation to remove the right to anonymity social media? i've. i wanted to look at everything and there is what taking place already. now clearly the online place we see 14 much cruelty on mine, and i think all of us have responsibility and the duty to work together. and i do think working together is part of the solution here. sadly, at a time when we need to be taking more action facebook up to see an end to end
3:22 pm
encryption plans that place the good work and progress achieve so far in jeopardy. but it's worth looking through some of the aspects of this bill, especially it's in it's draft proposal form. so essentially all companies need to protect people from a harmful content such as hate crime. there's also though, of course, an emphasis on protecting children from inappropriate content and sexual exploitation and abuse. so we're talking about the companies you'd expect, like facebook, twitter, tick, tock, youtube are all of which will need to tackle this content that's lawful, but still are harmful to the public. of course, that's a really tricky area to cover. it basically applies to abuse and misinformation think right now in particular, all of the different dates are and content on coven vaccines, or even the pandemic as a whole. so to try and get through and navigate this blurry line, the bill will also now be potentially bonding the anonymous account in the hope
3:23 pm
that people will no longer want to be hiding behind the computer screens. no hiding behind a fake account either. however, some key players in the civil liberties. our platforms are basically saying this is a really slippery slope for government surveillance. and of course a pass or lack of privacy. this is a terrible position to take encryption benefits users and m whistleblowers world wide. it's essential to privacy and security. so hogan who argued directly against anti monopoly action against facebook is now parlaying her new phone celebrity, to defeat its plans for and to when encryption more and more luke's, she's in this for more government surveillance and censorship. this a logical position supports you key, and us government launch tanden demonization of encryption in the interests of must surveillance today. yet again. frances, how going to really shining a light. in fact, putting all the flood lights on a real need to keep people safe. but in testimonies like this one,
3:24 pm
it really does expose how difficult it is to get that balance right, particularly online to protect people, but also to protect privacy. to discuss the issue with brenda neil, chief political writer at spike. he disagrees with francis huggins arguments and thinks that new proposals should be reconsidered. i disagree with a lot of what his hegan said. i think she's pushing a problematic argument. this idea that social media platforms are very dangerous. they need to be firmly controls that people are at risk. and one of the most problematic arguments i think, is the idea that we should ban online anonymity. so people would not be allowed to be anonymous online. have a real issue with because lots of people need to be anonymous. they need to be anonymous because they could lose their jobs if they express their opinion. because we know that it's become much more difficult to express controversial views about
3:25 pm
transgender ism, for example, or about many other issues. and people prefer to do that behind an anonymous account. so i think we're going down a dangerous road and i think if we don't pull back and have a think about what we're doing, we will end up regretting it. was the crux down on facebook rushes, training, and thoughts on another sex giant. google just paid most of us upstanding fines, clubs up violating russian law by failing to remove bio content. the style of a fall from over regular to say the u. s. has no signal greater willingness to comply. ortiz danielle, so report from the russian capsule here in moscow. on monday, the state duma has met with google representatives where the multi tech giant has actually agreed to commit it to russian law and to work closely with russian authorities. of course, at russia's media watchdog ross. com. that is or has had a massive m say in what's been going on in google. and some of its i have been content. it has been m at an ongoing process. it's,
3:26 pm
it's of the lease from that ban content, but it has been a process, a process that has yielded or so some reward and some advantages at now, despite google not deleting around about $2600.00 bits of band material or by october. that figure is down by about of a, about half or from the $5700.00 bits of illegal content. and that were around in, on google's a space on line air back when these 2 sized met in april. so in, in half a year has been down by a half now, although there was a side say that is a good job. it's far from ideal. now rushes into their foreign affairs commission. chief basil pest carry off says that could be down to some convenient community guidelines. now let's just hear what he had to say in those meetings on monday. moscow or yesterday, or was is what it is. it's not right if google gives its own rules priority over our own broadcast laws, which but during our meeting, which lasted over 2 hours,
3:27 pm
google demonstrated a willingness to comply with russian law and state bodies who claim they have paid most of those fines. now some sources say that is around $32000000.00 roubles just under half a $1000000.00, but the russian government has been quite hard line in their stance. they say, if this content isn't deleted, those funds will only go up and their stance towards google will get harder. now another issue that was raised in those monday meetings was the issue of the deletion from youtube, the google owned company of our to assist the channel, our t deutsche without warning. and without the possibility of restoration as $700000.00 view ship completely whites out in just a click of a button as it were. now, although the reasoning at the time was quite hazy that was for violating community rules and community guidelines. as it was said, a back then a pissed gary of his said he has raised the issue in the meetings today. but those reasonings and not those answers that he got were also,
3:28 pm
are still questionable and far from satisfactory. as so, as you can see, russia standing firm on foreign sack and foreign interference as it were. although steps had been made as to get some kind of progress. air between the 2 sides is still many steps to be taken before. both can meet each other in the middle and what they regard illegal content. ok, just on half austin here in rosco cross tool, cutting away in just a few moments time. the t when i will be back in half an hour to get you up to speed on the evening. global news headlines. join us again. them. oh, he died. i cried. i just had slept the whole time. i was there. no
3:29 pm
one really thought anything different, just all thought i just didn't feel good. on the way for the surgery, his lungs failed. 30 jackets. when i killed him, i had gotten stuck with so many needles that day. in 2019 doctor started talking about a new wide spread disease that caused severe lung damage. there's a few points that were really hurting all of the patients were diagnosed with a lung injury associated with using electronic cigarettes or facing products. he pulled this out. he refilled. holy crap, he's gonna die. oh no, he's the better it was. i wouldn't want my worst enemy to ever go through that, at least out of breath.
